Michigan and Kansas State players get a gift suite, Fossil watch and Ogio Cube backpack from the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl.

Gift suites, as explained by SBJ writer David Broughton, “are set up as private events prior to the game in which game participants, and often bowl VIPs, are given an order form and allowed to select a gift, or gifts, up to a value that is predetermined by each bowl, not to exceed the NCAA limit.

“The NCAA allows each bowl to award up to $550 worth of gifts to 125 participants per school. Schools can, and usually do, buy additional packages that they can distribute to participants beyond that 125 limit. In addition, participants can receive awards worth up to $400 from the school and up to $400 from the conference for postseason play, covering both conference title games and any bowl game.”

Of the 35 bowl games, 18 are providing gift suites or shopping trips to players.

■ Detroit’s Little Caesars Bowl is handing out a Timely Watch Co. watch, leather luggage set and football to Bowling Green and Pittsburgh players.

■ The Military Bowl is handing out PlayStation 4 video game systems to Maryland and Marshall players.

■ The Russell Athletic Bowl is handing out a $450 Best Buy gift card to Miami and Louisville players.
